Andrew M. Smith, PA-C
Approach To Care
Andrew believes medicine should be rooted in evidence wherever possible. He believes that we must have solid reasons for doing what we do and should take pains to explain these to the patient in terms they can follow clearly. He also understands that each situation is unique with its own nuance, so it is important to tailor care to the individual. Andrew feels strongly that the story will tell him the diagnosis in almost every case, so it is incumbent upon him to really listen. He strives to provide excellent medical care to everyone he sees in the clinic, and he believes that patients should have a complete understanding of everything that was done and why.
